If you hadn’t have guessed by now, the Slam Dunk Festival<\/b> is one of our favourite times of the years. For many year now it has proven to be a highlight on the UK festival calander, as it has repeatedly delivered in quantity and quality and this year is no different.<\/p>\n

With 2016 being the festival’s 10th anniversary, Slam Dunk<\/b> has gone above and beyond by delivering a packed bill of bands that stretch across the genres of rock, metalcore, ska, pop punk and beyond.<\/p>\n

With so much to choose from, Already Heard<\/b> has attempted to pick out 10 acts you should definitely<\/i> see this weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Preview<\/h2>\n

\"\"New Found Glory<\/h2>\n

These Florida pop punks are often labelled kings of the genre for a good reason; they’ve repeatedly producing bangers left, right and centre. Over the past 15 years, New Found Glory<\/b> have become renowned for their brand of crunchy and catchy pop punk. Throughout that time they’ve built a reputation for often being the highlight of many a festival, and as they return to Slam Dunk for only the second time, we’re got a feeling they’ll do exactly that. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 7:45pm – Main Stage (all dates)<\/p>\n

\"\"Every Time I Die<\/h2>\n

Whilst the main stage headline spot will be certainly be a slick, feel-good affair from Panic! At The Disco, for those wanting something a bit more grittier, look no further than Every Time I Die<\/b>. The Buffalo, New York have a reputation for producing frantic, festival-stealing sets. With work on number 8 nearing completion, Slam Dunk is the perfect opportunity to be reacquainted with the rowdy quintet. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 9:45pm – Impericon Stage (all dates)<\/p>\n

\"\"Moose Blood<\/h2>\n

Having recently completed a sold out tour and their forthcoming Autumn set to do the same, Moose Blood<\/b> are quickly getting used to playing to be crowds. Just one year on from their Slam Dunk debut on the “Fresh Blood” stage, they’re set to play the main stage. It’s the first of many festival appearances before their much anticipated second album, ‘Blush’<\/i> is released in August. If recent single ‘Honey’<\/i> is anything to by, expect the Canterbury quartet to kick off Slam Dunk with a set full of melancholic emo pop anthems. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 1:30pm – Main Stage (all dates)<\/p>\n

\"\"Yellowcard<\/h2>\n

Yellowcard<\/b> are playing ‘Ocean Avenue’<\/i> in full! Surely that’s enough to entice you to take a visit to the main stage? Nevertheless it’s sure to be a set drenched in summery nostalgia as the Jacksonville, Florida group offer a range of big hooks. It’s inevitable that ‘Way Away,’<\/i> ‘Only One,’<\/i> and ‘Ocean Avenue’ will be sung loud and proud by everyone in attendance. (SR)<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 4:55 – Main Stage (all dates)<\/p>\n

\"\"Roam<\/h2>\n

If you’re looking for an energetic start to the day at Slam Dunk, you could do a lot worse than check out these young guns from Eastbourne on the Key Club stage. They tick all the pop punk boxes, but there’s something fresh and exciting to their sound, their well worked arrangements putting them a cut above the competition. With killer tracks like the frantically thrashy ‘Deadweight’<\/i> it’s sure to be a hot half hour of heaving pit and sweating walls. (EL)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 2:15pm (Leeds & Hatfield) \/ 2:20pm (Birmingham) \u2013 The Key Club Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"Real Friends<\/h2>\n

With the anticipation for Real Friends<\/b>\u2019 sophomore studio album \u2018The Home Inside My Head\u2019<\/i> reaching its peak, the Illinois\u2019 pop punk collective return for their second Slam Dunk appearance. We\u2019re looking forward to Dan Lambton\u2019s trademark inspirational words and having a good finger-point to some of our favourite pop punk jams. (LJ)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 5:00pm (Leeds & Hatfield) \/ 5:15pm (Birmingham) \u2013 \u2018The Key Club Stage.<\/p>\n

\"\"Creeper<\/h2>\n

Over the past 18 months, Creeper<\/b> have repeatedly been called “ones to watch” and for a good reason \u2013 they are awesome. The Southampton six-piece have a unique, eerie sound that has won over many admirers. Make sure to catch them at their debut Slam Dunk performance for a dance, a mosh, a sway or all of the above, in what will be the first of many appearances for Creeper<\/b>. (LJ)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 7:20pm – \u2018Fresh Blood\u2019 Stage (all dates)<\/p>\n

\"\"Four Year Strong<\/h2>\n

Hailing from Massachusetts, the bearded blokes from Four Year Strong<\/b> are bound for Slam Dunk once again to deliver a show-stealing set. Known for their monumental guitar parts and on-point live performance, we can\u2019t wait to mosh out to \u2018Find My Way Back\u2019<\/i>. (LJ)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 6:00pm (Leeds) \/ 7:25pm (Birmingham) \/ 8:20pm (Hatfield) – The Key Club Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"Rob Lynch<\/h2>\n

Mr. Rob Lynch<\/b> has a long love affair with Slam Dunk. Having debuted at the festival under his former Lost On Campus, Rob has emerged as an acclaimed singer-songwriter in recent years. Last year he delivered a stellar set with his backing band. This year he’s back solo yet Lynch’s catalogue of sincere and heartwarming songs still have plenty of appeal and charm. If you’re looking for an opportunity to lay back and have a blissful singalong, then Rob Lynch<\/b> is your guy. Who knows we might even get a sneak preview of his forthcoming second album. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 7:20pm (Leeds & Hatfield) \/ 8:10pm (Birmingham) – Acoustic\/Solo Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"Set Your Goals<\/h2>\n

Having been inactive for the best part of four years, Set Your Goals<\/b> are back! And Slam Dunk is the perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with the San Fran hardcore pop punks. Like fellow SD band Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals<\/b> carry a set of party-filled, mosh-ready anthems. From ‘Mutiny’<\/i> to ‘Summer Jam’<\/i> to ‘Gaia Bleeds (Make Way for Man)’<\/i> there’s no doubt it’s set to go off when SYG hit the Key Club stage. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 8:20pm (Leeds) \/ 6:15pm (Birmingham) \/ 7:10pm (Hatfield) – The Key Club Stage<\/p>\n
